Anyway, hang in there........er, oops, bad choice of words.

My wife's best friend has taken to greeting me with "How are they hanging?" --FLO--

[Danya (imported)]

I will send this year's donation before the end of May.

[oldone (imported)]

From this end of the world it'll cost me more than 30 $ banking charges to make a simple 10 $ donation. Just let me know when Visa is accepted

Hi!

I would also like to bring something into the collection-box but it feels risky to send money in envelopes across the Atlantic.

A solution with, if possible, somebody inside the EU giving IBAN and SWIFT codes and then arranging for the transfer across the Atlantic would be great.

Greetings

John

Sorry, we don't do transfers or paypal or credit cards. Plain old money orders or currency. I've exchanged currencies before - usually about a 20% cost on the exchange (the bank gouges like hell). We've gotten currencies from Canada, some Euros, Italian Lira, as well as Mexican Pesos. On the other hand, anyone may send US$ any time.

Trouble is only from my point of view the risk of theft!

Not really a likely prospect. Have to pick it from millions of letters. Goes to a secure postal box. Up to you....

[No_Nads_Dan (imported)]

Thanks and keep up the good work

To those concerned about putting money in the mail, just make sure you write a nice little two-page letter along with your contribution (It can just say hello, or you can, I'm sure, ask Krister about the size of his habit), and wrap the sheets of paper around the money. This will ensure postal workers cannot easily identify that there is cash in the envelope. Worked just fine for me.

Re. the poster above me and the quoted text from Paolo; you might want to ask Paolo or Krister if the store chain gift-card is acceptable to them, and don't send them one from a store in another country, even Canada; they are rarely useable in the States.

Money orders for the month of July 2009:

1) Trailer space rent

2) Wyrm Wyvern

3) some contraption

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

Some contraption, eh? Tell us more. --FLO--

Just double-checking... Is the address still the same now that IEunuch has retired?

The Eunuch Archive is getting ready to grow again. Honestly, you should see the plans we have for the future, they're just incredible. Unfortunately, we're reaching the stage where not only do we need money to grow, but to survive, and for that we need your help.

In the last month alone, the Eunuch Archive has had over 650,000 visits, nearly 21 million hits, and used close to 300 gigabytes of bandwidth. Those are some pretty incredible numbers, and the bandwidth alone has increased over 50% in the last year. Most of that growth coincides with the addition of the new personals section.

So we turn to you. We need to raise money to continue the EA's growth, and keep the site going, so unfortunately we're asking for donations. We can't accept credit cards or Paypal at the moment, but would appreciate any who can do so to send their donation to:

PO Box closed. Please PM Kristoff to mail donations.

PLEASE address the envelope to "Wyrm Wyvern LLC", and if you're sending a money order, please make it out to "Wyrm Wyvern LLC" as well.

As well please include your username, as we do have rewards in mind for anyone who donates over $10.

Once again, the EA needs donations, not only to grow, but to survive. Please send whatever you can to:

PO Box closed. Please PM Kristoff to mail donations.

Thanks for asking.

Just a bit of an update for folks, The funds that have been donated over the past year and a half have been spent well. During that time we paid for renewing the chat room's license, the VBulletin license, paid for the server computer that twice daily backs up the forums and stories, and serves as a backup to the chat server, and paid for the PO Box at which we received your contributions. We are contemplating an upgrade in the VBulletin software. If we go ahead and purchase this, it will largely deplete our funds .

For those who wish to contribute to the EA, please send your donations to:

PO Box closed. Please PM Kristoff to mail donations.

Please make any checks or money orders payable to Wyrm Wyvern LLC.

I am learning how to use PayPal and will set up an account soon to take contributions that way.

Thanks to all!

When you get paypal setup i will make a monthly donation! This is a valuable resource! I just procrastinate when doing manual based pay methods.

Of course, we don't want to list the addy in full form - we'll pass on the spambots.

There is NO way that I could NOT support a site that I visit several times a day and enjoy every minute of it. "My check is in the mail" Really!

I do suggest that you do setup an account with paypal or something similier, Make it as easy as possible for members to give, I would even be willing to give monthly if you had a method of taking the money out of my checking account.

Also put more of an urgent notice that you do need cash to stay afloat. I just learned of this situation by chance.

Good Luck and keep the faith, as I have faith in everyone that rans this fantastic site.
